    I doubt this "update" will stay around long without some serious modifications from google. I'm seeing month old sites getting a PR6. That pretty much renders PR useless.

    I'm gonna wait a week and see where this update is then. Just my opinion, but I'm expecting massive revisions from google on this one.

    This update is messing up people in different ways. Initially I was really happy to gain a PR7 but with the uncertainty of the current update, link buying and selling on PR alone is difficult to say the least. Best advice is probably ignore PR and stick to building traffic though must admit I'm finding it hard to follow my own advice.

    Sounds like you could benefit from some more free link exchanges rather than purchasing links. A successful marketing campaign can be done free.

    I'm happy with current update. Have been working my guts off on backlinks and went from PR0 to PR3 in 20 days. Hard work paid off in my case.

    I would only judge a PR once it has been the same for a week, a one off check can mean nothing at all. Glitches happen a lot.
    If it drops down to 0 out of the blue, its nearly always a glitch.
